New England, because I'm in England, and it has England in the title. GO WILDCATS! I haven't actually checked that New England are called the Wildcats, but it's the sort of thing American sports teams are called.
I jest.
Seriously though, a lot of people here in England follow the Patriots because of the name.
What do you Yanks make of the occasional NFL game being played at Wembley Stadium these days?

I don't follow NFL much, but my allegiance is with the Atlanta Falcons, because of family. I have two American uncles who have sent me merchandise since I was a kid, even a shirt, which I treasure.

They're hoping to get a foothold. It seems there's a very small but devoted following across the pond they hope will expand. I honestly don't think it'll happen, but who knows?
And to answer the question, the Chicago Bears! Just don't ask about the last game.
The Minnesota Vikings, who are off to an excellent start this season, with only that hiccup against the Steelers last week to put a (albeit small) damper on the season so far. Just so you all know, we will be winning the Super Bowl, I can feel it.

There can only be one, like in that foreign movie where there could only be one, and in the end there is only one dude left, because that was the point.

Hmmm, we'll I don't know about getting a foothold, over here football (soccer) is the religion, and there ain't no room for no new kids on the block. I suppose it's a rare chance for the fans over here to see a proper NFL game, and Wembley, with it's 90,000 capacity, etc, is a stadium that can do any sporting event proud.
I was wondering though what the American fans think when their team is playing in London - something a bit different, or annoying because unless you fly over, it's a game you can't see live?

There is no denying the Vikings are an excellent team. Only two Packers games have been televised where I live, so I have been watching the Vikings so far.
@Trin: Yeah, the odds of it picking up are slim. I think they're hoping because Soccer has picked up in popularity slightly here that the same could happen overseas for Footabll. I don't think they take into account that a lot of that increase in popularity might have something to do with people that have immigrated here from a Soccer friendly country and brought their love of the sport.
Regarding teams playing overseas, most fans I've talked to find it kinda cool to see it getting a little light outside of the U.S or Canada.

I still wear my Rams gear despite the dreadfulness of the current team. So no one can ever call me a front runner if they get good again. I live in Eagles territory , so I would not mind seeing the Eagles have success.
I've always been a Bengals fan ever since I was little. I've been w/ them through the worst of it. And even though they're in the same division I like watching the Ravens now. I actually got to meet their quarterback Flacco a year or two ago before he was drafted. One of my best friends brother played football with him at Pitt and Delaware and was his roommate.
